Description
Four women who challenged the musical world with their trailblazing careers and lives. From the debut biographer Leah Broad comes a fascinating story of love, adventure and music.
Meet Ethel Smyth, Rebecca Clarke, Dorothy Howell and Doreen Carwithen - four extraordinary women who broke the mould of what was possible for women in music. Their lives were marked by passion, creativity and a commitment to their art.
Their stories are a testament to the power of female talent and the importance of preserving their legacies. This book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the history of classical music and the women who shaped it.
